Public Storage Reviews Reviews Summary

Public Storage's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to steep and frequent price increases, inadequate customer service, and poor management responsiveness. Many customers report feeling neglected, with unresolved issues regarding billing and unit security leading to frustration. While some locations receive praise for their cleanliness and helpful staff, these positive experiences appear inconsistent. Overall, the feedback suggests a troubling trend of unprofessional practices and a lack of accountability, prompting customers to caution others about their experiences and consider alternative storage options.

I wish that I was able to give 0 stars. Stay away from this place. The entire operation is unprofessional, and seems to care more about money, and not providing great service for customers whom patronize with establishment. While visiting my storage unit, there was snow packed high in front of many units, including mines. I called the office to make a complaint about it. I was told by staff that it isn't in job description to shovel snow from in front of units. I was puzzled because, you would think that would be the bare minimum done, so that customers can safely be able to gain access to unit. Never the less, the staff person gave me the phone number of his District Manager Doug, I called several times within the last couple of days. Yet, I still have not received a call back. Even though, I could not get inside my unit, there was still no sense of urgency to call and take care of issue. With that being the case, I had to get a shovel and dig up tons of ice myself, just to get inside my storage unit. And to make matters worse, I'm getting a system generated messages stating that I have a balance because, I moved out on the 4th, instead of the first. Never mind the fact that snow covered up my unit and I couldn't access it. In all my years of conducting business, this was by far the worst experience, Again, stay far away from this company. Don't waste your time or money.

I must say the two trashy girls you have working there are very unprofessional and make their position they hold with the company a joke to them. Both were rude and disrespectful and no way should ever speak to customers the way they do. I have been a customer for years and I feel that the two of them need to get gain some knowledge in customer service. I would hope to see something done about them. Thank you

Raised rent after 3 months - from $160/mo (just storing a trailer in the parking lot) to $186. Not a good sign.

DO NOT STORE YOU BELONGINGS HERE! Unless you want to donate your stuff to thieves. I moved in a month ago & my prized possessions were stolen ($5-$8k worth). Public Storage & their employees don't give a rats $#*! about you as long as they get their rent. There are many issues w this place. 1. The side fence has been cut at least 8 times & that's how thieves get into the property after hours. 2. The empty units do not have locks. Public storage puts a plastic ID on the locks which can be removed by the new owner. Until the new owner moves in it is literally unlocked. All the thieves need to do is access one of these units and tunnel their way through drywall to access the other units. On 2/3/2021 I got a call from Orange PD. They called me because I actually work w police officers on a daily basis. This is blatant disregard for their customers who pay hundreds of dollars a month to secure their possessions. 3. Drywall is what separates your unit from ur neighbors unit. So if your neighbor is a thief, he has access to yours also. If the public storage employee is a thief, he can just tell his/her buddies how to get into these units. It is not safe. I've talked to many tenants and this place has been broken into several times. DO NOT RENT HERE IF YOU CHERISH YOUR BELONGINGS! I sold my home and I stored my valuable possessions here until I relocate. I have photos and videos. Only idiots would run a business like this.

While the place is old and needs some inside repairs the service is excellent. I have rented several times from the Rt 3 Gambrills, MD location and Candace is always refreshing to work with, very pleasant and always aware of the customer's needs. On my latest rental, there was an associate there upgrading or fixing her computer so we had to do a manual rental. While it took quite a long time to do this and I was worried it wouldn't be correct when it got transferred to the electronic system, my worries were for not, Candace made sure EVERYTHING was correct. I will always rent from Candace at this Public Storage location even though it's quite a distance from my current location. With so much competition on storage units, customer service will always be the thing that gets my business.

The service I received from ANGEL was excellent. She answered my phone call questions quickly.
She also helped me put heavier items In my car. AND helped me with the locks on my storage door.
I am an. 80 yr old widow and I would never admit this if it weren't true. I check in with Angel when I arrive
At the business and let her know when I leave. Due to my age this is big asset for me & my family.
Thank You
